Week 22/52

Weekly snapshots of family life in 2016

Cape May is always a good idea, at least for us and our little tribe. We’ve been coming here for about 10 years now and yet we still feel the same excitement as the first time. Is it the thrill of being near the ocean or just the promise of the upcoming summer season and that school is soon coming to an end? Whatever it is, we keep coming back year after year.

All week long, I looked at the weather forecast as rainy days at the beach can sometimes be tough. Mother Nature proved fickle as the forecast changed from rain to shine until the last minute. But alas, we were lucky, the only rainy day we got was Monday, our last day there.

There was the usual treasure hunting by the kids at the beach from sea shells to metal detector finds. We also found out that Congress Hall, the grand dame of the town in terms of structure and history, is celebrating its 200th year. They have festivities all summer long so check them out if you’re in the area this summer.
